Propaganda for the Self

Propaganda for the Self is an excavation of the conflict in queer love between the radical opportunity to reimagine how we relate to each other and the seductive, conscriptive power of the American Dream. The show centers around four utopian love stories written by the cast. Each story reflects on the role of desire and love in our individual and collective choices. Dancing, spell casting, video collages, and plenty of glitter propose a new kind propaganda, a propaganda that invites us all to reflect on dreams, the one’s we have and the one’s we’ve been given. Propaganda for the Self is an invitation to abjection.
